Meeting Venue![]() Collemaggio The meeting will be held at Sala Celestiniana, a beautiful frescoed room which once used as refectory of the monastery annex to the ancient basilica of Collemaggio. Collemaggio is a hill placed south-west of L'Aquila, outside the XIII-century walls. The basilica is a real masterpiece of Abruzzi Romanesque-gothic architecture for the beauty of its interior, the perfect integration of the architecture with the surrounding landscape and the unforgettable facade in red and white stones which stands out of a large, deep-green lawn. The church dates back to the XIII century.
